Jerry Martin & The Sounds ... Fredlo records

Jerry Martin whose real name was Layton Redell Zbornik, Jr from Albia, Iowa is not present in the doo wop music guides, but he has a recording in 1959 for the Fredlo record label with the songs "Janet / Lovely One", this last song has a good oriented doo wop sound so much so that in many places they catalog it as a white doo wop song.

Unfortunately Jerry died in November 2019, here https://www.tributearchive.com/obituaries/8750350/Layton-R-Zbornik-Jr you can see a page dedicated to his memory full of information about him.

INTRODUCING... The 3 Tones

The 3 Tones was a trio from Leicester, United Kingdom formed by John Clarke with his friends Chris and Rich.

In 2012 they recorded a 45 rpm as The Me-Tones with the sides "Rocket Johnny / Round and Round" on the Fatrocket label.

Surely an unknown group for most doo wop fans, but they have a song "Dream of Your Love"  that I really like.

LISTEN...

In 2019 they made a CD... THE 3 TONES "Introducing:"...  today you can listen to them on their YouTube channel by clicking here;

RAREST WHITE GROUP ... The Romantics

The Romantics was a vocal group consisting of Bud Freeborn, Barry Toepp, Mike Wooley and Ernie Fye.

They recorded in Capitol records several songs "Chapel Bells, Swing Low, Jungle Lion, My Love is Strong, Eternally, I Found You" that were never pressed in a 45 rpm official, until in 2013 those songs were presented in CD format.

I believe that it is a group that all fans of this musical style are unaware of its existence

The Peppermint Lounge ... was a popular discotheque located at 128 West 45th Street in New York City that was open from 1958 to 1965, It was the launchpad for the global Twist craze in the early 1960s.

PICTURE SLEEVE ... The Casuals

1965 picture sleeve of The Casuals on Feature records with the songs "Angel on My Shoulder" / "Come On Pretty One". Present in the Kreiter's Vocal Group Record guide with a value of $ 30 but this guide not mentioned this picture.

Unfortunately these two songs are not available on YouTube so I cannot say if they really have a doo wop sound or is it an error present in the aforementioned guide.

Rare Advertising poster.

THE SPLENDORS ... unrecorded group

Vocal group from the Bronx composed by Lead Singer Jim Carlock Jr. with Richie Laringoine, Danny Sabatino and Joe Colavito. The Splendors singing locally, and 1961 have a few of demos songs as "Winter Time", "Senior Year", "The Slob" and "Rita" never released on 45 rpm.

For my taste The Splendors have a very good white doo wop sound.
